    I'm guessing that with the springs cranked up the shock was close to the end of it's travel. So on a bump you were hearing the piston hit the bottom of the shock tube.
    One other thing, If you find the reverse lockout annoying, take a 3/8" (1/2" wrench) nut and split the side of it with either a hack saw or a small cut off wheel. Then pull the reverse and brake lever and slip the nut over the reverse lockout cable between the lever and the cable mount. once you release it, the spring tension will hold it in place. This allows you to shift into reverse without messing with the brake/reverse lever. Obviously don' t go jamming it into reverse while still rolling forward. It's really nice when on the trail.

    Hello Max. Oh geez this video went to a dark place quick! ROFL!!!
    I believe they're called spanner wrenches. I have one saved on my eBay, but still haven't bought one.
    A sledgehammer with a light clipped to it. Crafty like a fox.
    Glad this seems to solve your problem. Great video, and great camera work Max.

    G'day mate.
    I didn't know it was that simple to adjust them. I seriously know nothing about this stuff and thought you'd be removing them or something.

    I watched your video on adjusting the front shocks. I have a 2022 Honda Rancher. I added a winch immediately and I have turned the atv over twice now. It seems so unstable that I’m almost afraid to ride it. I was looking for a video to help make it more stable and I wondered if the shock adjustment has any affect on that or if I can go with after market rims and/or tires without harming the front end. Any ideas?
